Respect is a reciprocal commodity. Once he demonstrates he can show respect, perhaps he could be respected.Trump has made more progress with peace on the Korean Peninsula, brought the economy to bigger gains than most economists thought possible, and more and the liberals still bitch and moan and accuse him of stupidity, treason, and being a vile human being, if even a human being.
So what would Trump have to do to get respect from liberals?
He could actually appoint the very best people as he promised as a candidate. He could understand that there is no room for the attitude of white supremacy in American society. He could understand that preserving the environment does not mean sacrificing jobs. He could get a grip on his juvenile stream of consciousness tweeting. He could show humility is a virtue.
But I was brought up in a different world. No Trump supporter understands the difference between vice and virtue. Maybe that's why they love someone as boorish as the huckster buffoon Donald Trump.
"Respect is a reciprocal commodity", you say.
So, let me ask you, and please answer as honestly as you can:
Did you respect Donald Trump when he announced his intention to run for the presidency or were you one of the condescending mob who considered it a joke?
Did you respect Donald Trump when he demolished all his primary rivals, on by one with biting criticism, wit, sarcasm, truth and total lack of the usual phoniness?
Did you respect Donald Trump when he proved to the world what a fraud Hillary Clinton was in the debates, in spite of CNN assistance?
Did you respect Donald Trump for overcoming the seemingly impossible and beat the unbeatable-first-female-can't-lose darling of the Left?
And for the flip side:
Do you still respect the two time loser - first to one she never considered her racial equal and second, to whom she never considered her political equal because he had "no path to the presidency"?
Do you still respect Hillary Clinton who blames the whole world for her own woeful sloppy campaign and its well deserved electoral comeuppance.
As you say, respect is a reciprocal commodity.
